Bab 121: Knives in the Dark, Part Ten

Lia fought with a new ferocity after that. It still didn't seem like she was taking the fight seriously, but her bloodlust had visibly increased. 

She closed the gap so fast that Neve felt if she had gotten hit by her next attack, her head would have gone flying. 

Erin managed to sneak an attack in as Neve dodged away from it, but Lia arched her back and Erin's claws narrowly missed their mark. 

The summon disappeared as her minute ran out. 

Neve moved to resummon her as quickly as she could.

MP: 710/1100

Just as the lamia reappeared, Lia dashed in and tried to stick those daggers in her body.

Neve scurried back, feeling like those blades were hovering over her the entire time. Like she could just barely feel their cold metal on the back of her neck. 

Erin finally managed to force the enemy to leave Neve alone for a moment through {Dragon's Divine Breath}, creating a bed of flames that cut her off.
